Arnie Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 The PM system is now offline to allow old PMs to be converted and imported. It'll be re-enabled when complete. Unfortunately there's no way around this and some PMs sent between the server move and now will be lost. There's no way around this sadly. All PMs prior to the move have been backed up and will appear in inboxes hopefully tonight if the script runs quick enough Edit: okay it's now back online for everyone.

cqbr Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Any idea when it will be back up? Just a guesstimate is fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I would not expect to see them up for another 24 hours, based upon Arnie's comments in the PM site error thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Well 84,000 messages have been processed. This brings us up to 2007 Only three more years of messages to process! Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I am leaving the PM rebuild to run in the background. At the same time I've got the posts rebuilding too. This will slow the server down a little, but I have to crunch several years of data to get our forum back up to date. About 1/3 of the PMs are done, ETA on that is 12-24hrs. The posts are rebuilding, but there's a lot to do, that may take another 2-3 days depending on speed. Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 145,750 messages processed. The process stalls occasionally for some reason so I have to keep an eye on it. Half of the PMs are now completed. Link to post Share on other sites

Arnie Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 315,171 done a few hours ago. Just a few left, then I'll enable it all. Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 There are 334,694 total so that's 20,000 ish left to do. Should be done tonight so I can re-enable the PM system when I get back up in the morning. Yay! Then I'll just have the posts to rebuild... thankfully I can do that while the board is online.

Arnie Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 PMs all rebuilt, system turned back on for everyone. PMs since the move will have been lost (completely unavoidable) however al PMs prior to move have been recovered. There may be a few duplicates in inboxes because of the way the upgrade worked, just delete any duplicate messages in your inboxes Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Regarding the PM folders ... is there any way to get those rebuilt and PM's sorted? I know it's a long shot. Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 No we could only add the PMs made before the upgrade I wasn't able to save/merge the ones created over the past few days. Sorry about that afraid it was a choice between the two. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 That's cool Arnie. I'll make new folders and resort the PM's. At least all the old PM's were restored, that's definitely the most important aspect of the issue at hand. On a somewhat related note, I recall a long time ago, members could become Arnie supporters (with donations) and a larger allotment was given to them for PM's and galleries. Could that be reinstated possibly? Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's certainly something that I'm looking to add back Link to post Share on other sites
